L’espace est préparé à la manière dont un peintre apprête sa toile avant de l’enduire de pigments. L’atelier de la rue Saint-Alexandre devient alors le support d’une intervention spécifique qui se transformera pendant près de deux ans : d’octobre 1980 à juillet 1982. Trente ans plus tard, Room 901 fait l’objet d’une réflexion approfondie et d’une réactivation.

Summary:
One of the most important American artists of the 20th century, Donald Judd (1928–1994) pioneered the use of industrial materials and fabrication in serial forms to redefine the relationships between artist, art object, viewer, and space, and usher in the Minimalist style. His signature work transformed in 1984 when he radically revised his approach to color after learning of an industrial process for shaping and enameling aluminum in an array of colors from a commercial color chart. In the last decade of his life, he created multicolored works of serial forms, both wall-mounted and free-standing, which reveal an entirely new engagement with color. Focusing entirely on Judd’s multicolored works, this book features essays by leading scholars that illuminate this body of work and examine its relationship to his oeuvre as a whole. Judd was an important theorist in his own right, and his 1993 text, “Some Aspects of Color in General and Red and Black in Particular,” is reproduced here. An essential book on a groundbreaking artist, the volume includes images of dozens of multicolored works accompanied by preparatory drawings and collages, as well as photographs from the studio and the factory.

Summary:
With her monumental, epic paintings Verhoeven’s work appears to examine the collective memory of ceremonial gatherings, behind which a landscape of nightmares and ghostly phenomena is concealed. Verhoeven makes a conscious choice to allude to historical art by making references to artists such as Hieronymus Bosch, Goya and De Chirico in her work. In addition, she appropriates source material from family archives, newspapers, paparazzi photographs and scenes from films. Using this mix, she creates complex paintings in which different imageries, epochs and psychological conditions clash. This catalogue accompanies the first retrospective exhibition of her work.
